TSGL: Solve this one, if you can!

[Ron Grant]

Makes sense to me now . . .  I am still new with Thunderbird.  Thought I 
had settings to send to list as plain text, but that was wrong.  When I 
specify plain text now I make the list.  As you said, when going to the 
web based gmail account my sent mail to list is there also.

Thanks for explaining that "feature" of Gmail.
